Ugh, I am sure Vegans aren’t sick of eating salads or anything. Way to be open minded, Lady!

As a partial vegetarian (working my way slowly to full vegetarianism), can I just say I am so bloody sick of this line of reasoning?

Yes. Eating animals is perfectly natural for omnivorous species like humans. I agree. And pretty much every hardcore vegetarian I know would also agree. Raising them in torturous conditions by the hundreds, pumping them with hormones and skinning them alive to transport them thousands of miles to make it to my kitchen table is not. That’s why I don’t want to eat meat anymore. I don’t judge you for eating it - seriously, I understand, it’s taken me years to take this partial step toward vegetarianism because I am a meat-lover too and I have no idea when I’ll be ready to take the next one. But I acknowledge that eating meat is problematic. If you want to eat meat, you just sound like an ignorant fool if you act like there’s no ethical reason not to. This is definitely the most unoriginal pro-meat argument I’ve ever heard. Ten-year-olds use it.

You’re lame, Sarah Palin. Seriously, you suck.

Wow, she’s both inexcusably dumb AND completely unoriginal.

Not that I think she actually wrote this book herself. Things she’s written online (e-mails etc.) give the impression that she’s barely literate.

ok.  here’s the scenario….its time for christmas dinner, and because of the economy and all, I cant get a ham or turkey.  And what if I dont have any vegan friends?  Can we invite sarah palin over for dinner?  I hope i dont get flagged for saying that…but seriously?  what planet is this woman from?  Kudos to the person who said, “um, humans?”  wow.  this is going into my files for one of the most stupid quotes of the year.

I’m sure her vegan guests would respond, “Thanks, but no thanks.”

Heck, Sarah Palin makes a lot of sense. It’s amazing what people will believe if it’s repeated in the
lamestream media. Give her a break, listen to her
before you jump to judgement.

Shooting wolves from helicopters does not make sense. I won’t even get into the other junk.

Yeah, she makes no sense. What she said doesn’t even compute. Animals aren’t made of meat. Meat comes from the animal. Soo silly.
And as a vegetarian, if you’re only planning on providing salad for a veggie option, I’m likely going to avoid dinner at your house. Sorry, but salad is still just a side option for me, and not a main course at any time. And I don’t know about anybody else’s Thanksgiving, but my family always has tables and tables of vegetables anyway.

This woman is just a dumbass but alas, we can even learn from the dumbasses of the world.  “Note to self:”  This is how NOT to behave.

theattack:  Don’t bother wasting your precious energy.  That “joke” from Sarah Palin is an old one that I heard over 20 years ago and has probably been around longer.  It is what nervous people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions say when they feel guilty about their behaviour.  In this case, the joke is directed towards vegetarians.  Have you ever noticed how people who eat meat turn something as personal as a diet into a political issue?  I’ve never met a vegetarian who tells me what to eat but when I stopped eating meat altogether (and now I’ve almost gone completely vegan) on a daily basis, I’d run into rude, childish people such as Sarah Palin who want to tell me “what I should be eating” when (a) I never mentioned what I eat in the first place and (b) I didn’t ask for her opinion. 
It all goes back to when you come across someone who eats meat and they have to make jokes when they meet a vegetarian - it is their own guilt and the funny thing is they will “judge themselves” and start hemming and hawing over what YOU should be eating and the vegetarian can be standing there saying absolutely nothing!  I’ve seen it many times.
Personally, I don’t eat meat, I watch what I eat and I am mindful of my actions. I believe I am responsible for my thoughts and my actions and what I put out to the world. If Sarah Palin wants to eat meat, then that is HER perogative but for crying out loud, can’t she just keep her pie-trap shut?  She, along with all those other nervous “jokers” need to start looking within and finding their own answers in life instead of trying to drag the rest of us down with ‘em…..

Wow, I went on a roll today.  I’ll go back and re-read this after I post and see where my fingers have gone.  Sometimes I type really, really fast and - some would call it automatic writing - the words just come out and it is only after that I see that it almost isn’t even “me” typing it…....

it’s just as likely that as a meat eater, you meet vegetarians/vegans who think you’re some kind of monster for eating meat.
it can be hard to understand but there’s no need to be rude to each other =]

I eat meat, but I’m used to vegetarianism because of my mother. because of her being vegetarian it actually seems really odd to me when I see other mums eating meat >_<

Why would she need to preach to a vegan about meat? What harm does it do to her if her guest isn’t fighting over the white meat or the gravy?

Newsflash to the closeminded: There are other people out there, and they don’t have the same beliefs as you. Get over it.

@Frederica Bimble: Your comment just made me super happy. I’ve never quite heard it put like that, but you’re absolutely right. Maybe it is because some of them feel guilty. It also may be because PETA doesn’t exactly have the best reputation either (as if we’re all PETA activists). As soon as I say I’m a vegetarian, it’s almost guaranteed at least one person will react to that as if I had tried to pick a fight with them, when really I was just mentioning the things I choose to not consume. Maybe next time I hear those people say that they don’t eat broccoli, I should freak out and go on a pro-broccoli consumption crusade.

o.k., I count myself among those who thank whatever higher power that this woman does NOT have access to the missile codes but to stretch the actual quote into an endorsement of cannibalism is disappointing & the kind of tactic I would expect Palin herself to employ…  being “right” (Palin=bad/stupid) doesn’t excuse fallacious “logic”...
